How to Fix iPhone Battery Draining Fast in 2026
If your iPhone battery is draining faster than usual, it is often caused by background app activity or unoptimized settings rather than hardware failure.
Steps to stop battery drain:
- Check Battery Usage: Go to Settings > Battery to see which apps are consuming the most power.
- Disable Background App Refresh: Navigate to Settings > General > Background App Refresh and turn it off for non-essential apps.
- Turn Off Location Services: Go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services and switch apps to "While Using" or "Never".
- Update iOS: Sometimes a bug in the operating system causes a drain. Check Settings > General > Software Update.
🤔 ProTip:
If the drain persists after optimization, the battery might be chemically aged. Use Dr.Fone - System Repair (iOS) to rule out iOS system bugs causing excessive power consumption before considering hardware replacement.
